Small children learned that the world is only going to let them down when Hillary Clinton bailed on visiting a New Hampshire Boys and Girls Club at the last minute on Friday.
"There were tears. They were really looking forward to it," organizer Traci Tucker told NH1. "There were a bunch of kids who decorated her little bathroom."
Which…weird, but okay. Tucker goes on to call Clinton's abandonment "a life lesson," which is true because life is cruel and disappointing and you should never get your hopes up about anything and the small children of New Hampshire have now learned that all the sooner. But some weren't taking the lesson so well. One dad called Clinton's behavior "unacceptable," saying, "You couldn't even live up to a promise that was made or that was told to these kids."
